Celebrating completion of an exciting and meaningful project at Quambie Park – the full renovation of their aged care kitchen, proudly supported by a grant from the Peel Development Commission.
One of our regional aged care providers was delighted to share the recent completion of an exciting and meaningful project at Quambie Park – the full renovation of their aged care kitchen, proudly supported by a grant from the Peel Development Commission.
The renovation marks more than just a physical upgrade. It represents a deep commitment to improving the lives of residents by aligning Quambie’s facilities with the highest standards in aged care. A modern, efficient kitchen allows their team to prepare meals that are not only nutritionally balanced but also comforting, familiar, and made with care.
For many residents, mealtimes are a highlight of the day – a time for conversation, connection, and enjoyment. The newly refurbished kitchen supports this by improving food service delivery and enabling greater flexibility in catering to individual preferences and dietary needs. It’s also a step forward in creating an environment where dignity, respect, and wellbeing remain at the centre of every aspect of care.
Beyond the practical improvements, the kitchen renovation plays a key role in fostering social inclusion and reducing loneliness – issues Quambie Park remain deeply dedicated to addressing.
Through shared meals and meaningful interactions in a warm and welcoming dining space, they continue to build a community where every resident feels seen, heard, and valued.
To mark the special occasion, they were honoured to have Resident Representative, Mr. Michael Metcalf, to officially open the new kitchen along with Quambie Park CEO, Sharon James. Under his watchful eye and with great appreciation, Mr. Metcalf unveiled the renovated space – a moment captured in the above photo that truly symbolises the heart of Quambie’s community: residents first.
The Commission was proud to support this project. This investment not only strengthens the foundations of quality aged care but also reinforces the importance of collaboration and community in creating lasting positive change.
Quambie Park are on a transformative journey – one that is shaped by innovation, compassion, and the shared goal of delivering exceptional care to their residents.
